About this title

Synopsis:

With Snappy Sounds Boo!, children can experience the thrills of seeing and hearing skeletons jumping out from their graves, a ghost train swiftly moving through the darkness, owls hooting as bats circle a haunted house, and organ music playing as witches and monsters dance at a wickedly fun Halloween party. Each page reveals a unique sound paired with large pop-ups, as well as questions that teach children new words and assist in identification and comprehension. Innovative and educational, this bold, brightly colored interactive combines the best of children's top selling formats — pop-ups and electronic — in a novel and entertaining way.
